Hyman Arluck) Producer: Norman Granz Orchestra: Billy May From the Show: Cotton Club Parade 1933 (S) Lyrics: Don't know why There's no sun up in the sky Stormy weather Since my man and I ain't together Keeps raining all the time Life is bare Gloom and misery everywhere Stormy weather Just can't get my poor old self together I'm weary all the time, the time So weary all of the time When he went away The blues walked in and met me If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me All I do is pray The lord above will let me Walk in the sun once more Can't go on Everything I had is gone Stormy weather Since my man and I ain't together Keeps raining all the time Keeps raining all of the time I walk around, Heavy-hearted and sad Night comes around And I'm still feeling bad Rain pourin' down Blinding every hope I had This pitter 'n patter 'n beatin' 'n spatterin' drivin' me mad Love, love, love, love This misery will be the end of me (bridge) When he went away The blues walked in and met me If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me All I do is pray The lord above will let me Walk in the sun once more Can't go on Everything I had is gone Stormy weather Since my man and I ain't together Keeps raining all the time, the time Keeps raining all the time Transcribed by Todd Peach tpeach@gte.net
